We sometimes had Ovaltine but usually had Activite to have with our milk as a youngster.

This is shocking. It is getting to the stage of who do you trust anymore! Thank you for the information here and suggestions of how to handle these things. It is good to be aware!

I used to love to visit Melbourne for the weekend. We would leave the car at the hotel and travel around by trams which we found so good to get around. Now once the Metro is up and running it will add another layer to get around. I am from Sydney and we have found the changes here with the...

I always check everything. We tend to buy loose fruit and veg rather than the packaged. A few weeks ago we bought a pack of chicken breasts with a use-by date six days later. When we opened it too cook that night the smell was so bad, it was definitely off. I took it straight back to Woolies...

How has it come to this? What a mess! Is it because of mismanagement, shonky operators, incompetence or greed? I feel sorry for those that need the help and rely on the services. Too many enquiries and inaction - an approach needs to be put in place to ensure that those who need support gets the...

I have all of the above some mine and some my mother's. Still use them and have done most of my adult life!

I remember as a family going to the Chullora Drive-in (a big trip from the Shire) to see the Sound of Music back in the 1960s. Didn't stay awake for the whole movie though, past my bed time. Every time I see the movie now I remember the happy days of childhood as a family.

It would be interesting to see the profit margin once all overheads are considered? I think in some places, rents are ridiculously high and they are locked into watertight leases, which means to make businesses viable they have no choice but to charge the prices they do to survive.

Because there are only two of us we tend to buy loose as the prepackaged we usually throw out half. I always feel guilty in using the large plastic bags at Woolies so I think this is a good move. We have become very used to using our FOGO bin since July when introduced. We are the only one in...

Those were the days the friendly corner shop that was personal. Now ... well ... a very different world run by a few companies.

I just looked at it and thought oh God, then read it with out any hesitation - divine intervention?

Some problems are caused by the increased size of vehicles such as the big utes and SUVs, which do not fit into the narrow parking spaces in some centres. We have people in our local village car park who ensure that they have space on one side so they can get out but ignore that they are only...

It is interesting you say this, as when I was walking the other day in our estate which is now 15 years old, I noticed a number of homes with Yuccas and thought to myself how big they had become. They were all planted across the front of their homes and I was wondering about roots going under...

We've only just begun - the Carpenters

My mum bought me a set of these when I left home back in the early eighties. I have used them continuously since and they are still used all of the time and still look as new. I also kept all of my mother's after she passed away - we have a bit of a collection now that are always used. They are...
